The Chinese Must Go.

The difficulty of fighting the evil Of
Chinese immigration by other means
than exclusion is illustrated in the re-
suit of the effort Of white butchers to
recover the pork business. In this case
the white butchers bad every influence
on their side but the one of absolute
cheapness. The Chinese firms could
offer their meat at a lower rate because
it is Of poorer quality. They are less
particular about the condition Of the
animals they purchase, and less scru-
pulous about selling to the public meat
unfit for food. The average white
butcher has clear idea Of the value OF
reputation. He cannot afford TO sell
diseased meat. The Chinese, as a
rule, can afford to sell anything. BY
selling what their white competitors
throw away, they maintain rates below
the rates OF white dealers. At the first
glance, one would say that the white
dealers had only to state their case to
recover the patronage OF the public.
But the result of the contest shows the
contrary. The cheap article is in the
greater demand. Retail dealers declare
that they must buy the lowest-priced
pork in order to sell pork at all. White
cigar-makers, white boot and shoe
makers, and in fact all white manufac-
turers who come in direct competition
with the Chinese, find much difficulty
in maintaining higher rates than the
Chinese article can be bought for; all
of which adds to the force of the say.

FRIDAY. APRIL g, 1887.
A CRYING NUISANCE.

Reference has been made in these
columns to the public grievance Of long
lines Of dump carts, in the service Of
the road bureau, being allowed to drag
their unbroken length along through
the principal streets, compelling all
ordinary traffic in cross directions to
wait for the passage Of the ungainly
and noisy procession. This paper, to-
gether with contemporaries, has also
commented upon the extraordinary
liberties accorded prisoners when doing
their penal servitude in view Of the
public, and in going from and return
ing to the prison through the public
streets. One of the most recent as
we'll as notable instances Of license to
convicts was that occasion, animal
verted upon freely by the press at the
time, when the whole gang at broad
noontide marched within the Palace
gates and laid charges by petition
against their keeper or keepers before
His Majesty in person.
Both the cart nuisance and the
scandal of license to convicts were ex-
emplified in marked manner by an
occurrence on one Of the principal
streets yesterday, the particulars of
which are to be found amongst the
local news in to-day's paper. 1t is sim
ply outrageous that such thing as
there described should be allowed
by the authorities to occur There
are grievances Of bad government
enough to be laid by the tax-paying
public against the Administration.
There may be some such OF more
serious import in ultimate results, but
surely nothing more humiliating to the
public could be imagined than that the
country's degraded convicts should be
turned loose, to trample and, literally,
drive rough-shod over the commonest
rights of the community to be protected
from damage to their persons and pro
perry. The nuisance Of these road
carts in charge Of prisoners, with the
manner Of their being driven in con
tinuous line through the streets, has
been brought to the attention Of the
authorities, yet they have paid not the
slightest heed to the well-grounded
complaint OF the public. Yesterday
the contempt for the communitys
rights caused heavy damage to an in
dustrious tradesman. 1t might have
occasioned loss of human life. At any
time the nuisance complained of may
cause serious wreckage Of property, loss
of life or personal injury to members Of
the community. The people have moi
much spirit left if they stand this SORT
of thing any longer. If the Govern
ment does not compel the road bureau
to have its carts taken through the
streets with the least possible annoy
ance to the public, then the respect
able people Of the community should
in self-defense cast about for means o.
summary ending this nuisance.
